How the hell are you saying it's not possible to fail them?
*Shrug*
Did two playthroughs once with weighted dice one without. Failed a total of one time and had inspirations to make up for it. Free cantrip is already a big help, and later you get easy access to advantage for every roll that is remotely not in your favour.
Maybe I should just go to Vegas for a weekend or two. Never had much issues with BG3 rolls, and after recent patch it seems to be overwhelmingly stacked in my favour majority of time.
Eitherway, Larian will have best data as to how well current checks are balanced. I suppose if I got lucky, or failed more then I recall then it might work fairly well. It also could be that I don't attempt things outside of what my character would do (and therefore is already likely to succeed at). In my first playthrough, for example I didn't initiate conversation with the mindflayer, as I was playing as Gith.
